Overview


The W45 sensor family offers the highest level of operational security at 100 m among standard photoelectric sensors. These sensors are enclosed in a rugged metal housing for harsh industrial environments and long service life. When combined with optional front lens heating, the W45 becomes an ideal choice for long-range outdoor applications.

All versions are equipped with adjustable time delays for individual application flexibility, which reduces the number of stocked part numbers. Variants with DC voltage and universal AC/DC voltage are available. Special variants have been developed to detect high temperature targets such as glowing steel (> 800 °C).
